Almond Joy Cake

If you like Almond Joy candy bars (like I do) then you will love this cake. Coconut haters look away. Look away now. This is not the cake for you. This is only for the truly devoted chocolate and coconut lovers. I guess this could also be called Mounds Cake too if you removed the almonds from the top. You remember the commercial, right? "Almond Joy's got nuts. Mounds don't." It truly is the candy bar in cake form. And it is pretty darn easy to make too! I was worried when I first started thinking about making this kind of cake that it would end up coming out too sweet. I had seen some recipes that had called for quite a large amount of additional sugar and marshmallows. I wanted a simpler recipe that wasn't so sweet you would break a tooth. I think this recipe does that. It ain't the neatest cake to cut into but I promise the taste is scrumptious! Cause sometimes you feel like a nut...

I love Almond Joy's too. I was wondering if you could use the Cream of Coconut instead of the scm? On your coconut poke cake you use the coc instead of or with the scm. Or would it be to much coconut flavor? Anyway I'm going to try the switch and will let you know. lol Thanks for all the great recipes.

I used a devil's food cake mix, and to the cake mix added devil's food instant pudding mix, 1 cup of milk, four eggs and 1/3 cup of oil. I followed the rest of your directions. So ridiculously delicious!

My daughter made this cake and said it is soooooo good. Hmm...didn't save me a piece though. I will be making this one soon!!! I have tried several recipes from this website. The honey bunn cake was awesome.

I just wanted to say thanks for posting this! I was looking to make a cake for the hubby, who has recently been on an Almond Joy/Mounds kick. This one was easy, didn't cost much and tastes great. Only thing I would add is more almonds!
